    I think the Rode NT-2A deserves some recognition and consideration as a vocal mic. It seems to be tainted to some degree in that it is frequently used by podcasters, and we all know what that means - it will be completely disregarded as a "serious" mic by many recording studios.

    You know what? I've been using an AKG C-414 B-ULS to record my vocals with for years and I got a dynamic AKG D-320-B (?? not sure, but I think I'm correct about that) for 40 Euros, hooked it up to my preamp/DAW/monitors just to hear what it sounds like and the weird thing was: I thought it's broken! Didn't hear anything (I thought!!), so I kept on raising the main speaker volume until I heard my voice as I'm hearing it in my head coming out of the speakers. I'm so impressed with that little mic! So, it does mean that it's not 100% accurate, because my voice in my head sounds different to how other people perceive my voice, but isn't it cool having a mic that instantly sounds the way you want it to sound? I might actually use this mic as my main vocal mic in the future. :)

      Not so at all.
      Massively different mechanically, from the rotation mechanism to the shockmount, and totally different design and origin (!!!) of both caspule and inner electronics, plus a far more versatile little stereo & M/S connection box for the Vanguard, which all in all is honestly leagues better.
      The only thing similar is the colour, some variation of crimson red, and the general concept of such a type of stereo mic, which is the same as the venerable Neumann USM69 or the frail AKG C426 - and BTW the rotation mechanism of the Vanguard is better, more versatile and less incline to problems than both these legendary mics.
